Why this home stands out
Built in 2017, this condo brings relatively recent construction to a part of York County that's better known for historic character than new builds. At 1,322 square feet across two full bedrooms and two full baths, the floor plan gives each occupant genuine privacy — no shared-wall bathroom situations. The 2017 vintage also means mechanical systems, finishes, and energy details are a full generation newer than most of the surrounding housing stock.
NELSONS GRANT and the Yorktown real estate market
Yorktown sits at the northern tip of the Virginia Peninsula, where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay shoreline and colonial-era history is literally underfoot. The city carries a quieter, small-town rhythm compared to the busier corridors of Newport News or Hampton, yet it plugs directly into the broader Hampton Roads metro via I-64 and Route 17. York County consistently draws residents who want lower-density living without sacrificing access to major employment centers. The area around 117 Ellery Street #5 Yorktown Virginia 23692 reflects that balance well — residential streets, mature tree cover, and a pace that doesn't feel rushed. Waterfront parks along the York River are within easy reach, and the Colonial Parkway offers one of the most scenic commute routes in the entire region. Whether you're drawn here for the military installations, the historic atmosphere, or simply the breathing room that York County provides, Yorktown tends to hold its appeal across seasons and life stages.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Ellery Street. Grafton area shopping along Route 17 puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining within a short drive. The Riverwalk Landing district in historic Yorktown — with its waterfront restaurants, weekend markets, and public pier — is roughly ten minutes away and worth the trip on any given evening. Williamsburg Premium Outlets and the broader New Town retail corridor in Williamsburg are about twenty minutes west, expanding your options considerably. Mariners' Museum Park in Newport News is a reasonable drive for weekend outings, and Colonial National Historical Park trails are practically in the backyard.
